Ingredients

Instructions

  • Using a knife, chop the ends off the zucchinis. Cut the zucchinis in half. Use a spiralizer fitted with a shredder blade C, secure, and spiralize the zucchini.
  • Use kitchen scissors to trim noodles as the noodles come out. If you don’t trim, your noodles will be very long. I prefer to trim because they’re easier to eat. Set the noodles aside.
  • In a large saucepan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
  • Add shrimp, salt, and pepper. Stir occasionally and cook until pink and set aside.
  • In the same skillet add garlic, onions and red pepper flakes. Cook until onions are golden brown.
  • Add the zucchini noodles and cook for about 3 minutes. If you cook them any longer than that, the zucchinis can be a little soggy. Don’t forget to stir occasionally.
  • When the zucchini noodles are ready, place them on two plates, top with homemade tomato sauce, shrimp, and cherry tomatoes! Enjoy your meal!

Notes

  • Small to medium zucchinis are ideal for the zucchini noodles. Super large zucchinis tend to be watery.
  • You can buy shrimp pre-peeled, deveined, and tails removed to cut down on your prep time.
  • Fresh or frozen shrimp is fine for the recipe. Just make sure frozen shrimp is fully thawed before cooking.
  • To store: I don't recommend storing this recipe for too long as the zucchini can become watery. Try to eat this recipe within 2 days.
  • To reheat: You can enjoy the dish straight from the fridge or gently toss in a skillet.
